Nobody else had the vision that could save that company. (Anyone who
remembers Apple from 1990-2011 can vouch for this.)

Visionary in product design, management, and marketing?.. you must have
never heard of NEXT computer.
Hell even the original Mac was a piece of unusable expensive junk that
needed to be sorted out after Jobs was fired. How can somebody who screwed
up the Apple III because of overheating demand the original Mac not have a
cooling fan? It took designers to come up with the expandable Mac to get
Apple going again after Jobs left. Jobs hated internal expansion with a
passion and when he came back we got those funky colored Imacs that liked to
self destruct from overheating after a few years (a common theme is seems).
The end result of Jobs coming back is the death of Apple Computer and the
start of Apple the toy store. Go ask Sony what happenes when a brand isn't
cool anymore.
